re: Win7 search index refuses to move Saturday, August 7, 2010 at 10:53 pm Windows 7 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by S. Adair (51 messages posted) If you click the "Advanced indexing help" at the bottom of Index Settings page you will find this info at the bottom of the Windows Help and Support screen: To change the location where the index is stored       If you need to free up space on a hard disk, you can change the location of the index. If you change this location, the Windows Search service will automatically be restarted, and the change will not go into effect until the restart is complete.       ... Note: When you change the index location, you should choose a location on a non-removable hard disk that is formatted using the NTFS file system.
